Opened: May 04, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Configurations containing HTTP response-chunking 'sustain' and a Web Acceleration profile do not rechunk payload regardless of whether the web server responds with a chunked response.

Impact

The BIG-IP response is not chunked, regardless of whether the associated web server responds with a chunked payload when the Web Acceleration is utilized.

Conditions

-- Incoming response payload to the BIG-IP system is chunked. -- HTTP profile is configured with response-chunking 'sustain'. -- Web Acceleration profile also configured on the same virtual server.

Workaround

For a chunked response to be delivered to the client, apply the iRule command 'HTTP::rechunk' to responses when a Web Acceleration profile is used.

Fix Information

The BIG-IP response is chunked appropriately when a Web Acceleration profile is used.
